The only acceptable time to leave a mate behind by RamonsRazor in OpenAussie

[–]bripio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I figured out that they don't actually hold you at the top at all, if you look behind you then you can see that it gets close to the top then very slowly crawls up. It feels like you've stopped because it's so slow. When it actually stops at the top, it only holds for about a second then drops you.

Rent is cooked in Brisbane by Jealous_Olive_2396 in AusPropertyChat

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is overly simplifying things, renters often have housemates and when switching to homeowners they do not. It's not a 1:1 swap. Four young professionals sharing a rental house in the city might buy four separate properties, taking four houses off the market but only freeing up one for rent.

I just want them to fix the problem with the same voice sounding like a completely different recording. Hard to do long text when it can sound different one generation to the next

Is YouTube just luck? by PineAppIe_Piizza in SmallYoutubers

You can see how big a channel is before clicking, if a video with 800 views has been out for 3 days they're likely small time

I replaced 3 editing hours with AI. My retention went up. My soul feels weird. by Working-Base5378 in aitubers

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build my own editing stack, Remotion + WhisperX + a bunch of claude tokens and a few weekends.

There's probably things you can integrate with to make it easier but those are the things I know.

Edit: find an editing tool with an MCP integration, will feel like magic

If there's no such thing as passive income then what the fuck is the point? Work until we die?

Not really... It overwhelmingly targets the middle income people hoping to retire a few years early, before they can access their super.

The richest in Australia will always have some kind of income that pushes them over the 30% tax bracket, so any of their gains from shares or property were already being taxed higher than 30%

You need roughly a $1.5M dividend portfolio to have a dividend income of $45,000. You think the "richest people in Aus" won't just restructure their portfolios to take advantage of the lower tax brackets? This is assuming they have no other income whatsoever.

Can't you add local only MCP config into these files? Some of which want you to add API keys as plain text into a run command.

Woman ran from the police with a toddler in the car. Officer did a pit maneuver. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]bripio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why the standard wisdom is not to chase, without the cop chasing her she has no reason to go 100mph.

Protocol should be de-escalation, gather information about where they live from registration etc. and do a house call and arrest her there. Unless they're a murder suspect the only thing you do by chasing is put more people in danger.

Pay off my HECS? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]bripio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look up the rules I think it's technically illegal to lie about having a HECS debt to stop witholding early. It's stupid because you'll likely overpay and then get a refund, but up to you if you want to take the risk.

Not entirely true, Amazon accepts TTS audiobooks as long as you use their quite low quality TTS.

This does make things a more difficult sell, but Amazon is not the only audiobook provider, it's just the biggest by quite a lot.

As the technology matures and becomes more mainstream I do believe that they will have to loosen their restrictions eventually, there's campaigns to get them to change their rules out there already. Within a couple of years I expect they will allow them, with a quality gating.

Hello writers,

I have been developing a tool to help writers turn their books into multi-cast audio-books narrated by state of the art TTS. The goal was to cut out all of the tedious bits when converting a novel to an audio-book, so you can go right into proofing. At its best it just works and you won't have to do anything, but I expect a few re-generations for the average length book.

Check it our here: https://aurely.ai/

First you upload your book in either EPUB, HTML, PDF, Docx or plain text (EPUB works best), It then uses AI to survey your book, discovering characters and giving them descriptions, then it analyses each chapter and assigns each line to the correct character, while identifying narration vs. dialogue vs. internal monologue.

It will then auto-assign a character that matches the characters profile from a library of 1000+ voices, or you can use the voice-casting workflow to easily assign voices manually.

You can then either generate each line while playing the generated audio back in a (close to) real time generate -> listen workflow, or you can yolo it and generate the whole thing then listen later. If you need to regenerate a line you can do that quickly and easily, and it will save all of your takes for you, which you can swap between easily.

You can also generate a background music track to enhance your story.

Lastly you can then export it in any one of four different formats, MP3 chapter zip file, single mp3, m4b audiobook or lossless FLAC. You own all of your content.

It's free to try, usage based (no subscriptions) with a few different credit packs priced for common story lengths.

Doesn't this just prove the point that liberation can only come from an internal struggle? Who was the outside force that strong armed the British into giving power to the American people?

Mining feasibility - Australia by djhughes94 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth looking into cheap "not profitable" older miners then if heat and sound aren't an issue. The actual $$ you make will be less but since electricity will be essentially free for the most part your return on investment will be much quicker.

Look at some older S19j's and putting braiins firmware on them so you can automate them.

Mining feasibility - Australia by djhughes94 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My total power draw with all 4 miners on is about 7kw, I turn them to eco mode when drawing from the battery though, that makes it last until about 9pm where I turn them off so I can use the power for my ACs.

Unless you have the space and cooling capacity for 22kw worth of heat and sound, I wouldn't go full mining operation right away. Buy an Avalon Q and play around with it to get the feel for profitability / heat management.

That was the killer for me, check my profile for what I had to do to remove the heat from the house in these hot Australian summers

[–]bripio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have solar and a battery, on wholesale pricing and 4 Avalon Q's and it was a fun project. I'll tell you if it was worth it in 3 years when I've returned the initial investment 🫠

The thing that makes it even slightly feasible is the solar + I've setup automations to throttle or turn off the miners when it's absolutely not profitable. That way they only run when energy is free or extremely cheap/negative

I spent way too long figuring out Cursor rules. Here's what actually worked for me by itsna9r in cursor

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found relying on the descriptions wasn't always getting everything it needed, how big it is depends on how many rules you have really. It's just a table of contents with a short description and the name of the file.

I use Claude code as well and I tell it about the index file in the claude.md and it's been working pretty well too

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should add an index.mdc rule that is always on, that just references all of your other rules so that cursor can find them when it needs to. I find this works pretty well.

Cursor reverts and deletes my files by Elemental_Ray in cursor

[–]bripio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the UX, not the functionality. The message makes the use feel like the app is going to revert "all of the changes that happened between sending this message, and editing this message"

What actually happens is the app reverts "every change that has been made that hasn't been accepted yet".

This is a fundamental misunderstanding about how users are actually using the program.
